The Unique Fragrance of Agarwood
Agarwood (Aquilaria spp.) fragrance and its origin in stress make it probably the most suitable model to study stress-induced aroma. Production being confined only to certainsmall pockets of South and Southeast Asia, agarwood is arguably the costliest wood inthe world. Formation of fragrant agarwood resin is the outcome of complex biotic, abiotic,and physical stress on the Aquilaria trees....
Isolation of Endophytic Fungi from Juvenile Aquilaria Malaccensis
Aquilaria malaccensis is a precious tropical plant reputed for its agarwood resin, which is the outcome of biochemical interaction of the plant with fungus. The present study was aimed at investigating the process of agarwood production by isolating endophytic fungus from juvenile plant, effect of stem pieces of juvenile plant on the growth of fungus, and antibacterial effect of isolated...
Formation of Fragrant Bio-molecules during Agarwood and Fungal Interactions
Fragrant agarwood, arguably the costliest wood in the world, is formed by plant-fungal interactions in Aquilaria spp. However, very little is known about this fragrant outcome of interaction. Therefore, mimicking the ancient traditions of agarwood production in Assam (Northeast India), a chemometric assessment of the agarwood-fungus interaction was made by chemical profiling (GC-MS) coupled...
Biomolecular Linkages in Fragrant Agarwood Oil Production
Agarwood production is a highly profitable agro-based industry in the Southeast of Asia, with a worldwide market of US$ 6–8 billion. Aquilaria spp. are woody plants which are the source of fragrant resins produced by the plant due to fungal infection. Mechanism of agarwood production is not well understood, but...
